Tho advantages of coolness and courage in a most dangerous situation were manifested in a remarkable maimer on Monday by a young man named Henry Munz, at Belinda. He was out shouting, and when resting against a fallen tree he placed his hand on a snake’s head, which bit him between the index and middle fmgerof tho left hand. He immediately shot tho snake, and then (says the Examiner) cut out the piece where tho two punctures were visible. Ho next put some powder on the wound, and set it on fire, repeating the operation several times, and started for Mr. W. J. Clarke’s home station. . When ho arrived there brandy was administered, and he was kept walking about, and by the following day ho was out of danger.
